Baseball Knocks Off Oklahoma on Saturday
Trey Ferketic allowed no runs and just one hit over five innings in a win over Oklahoma.
The Valparaiso University baseball team started its weekend in Norman, Okla. by upstaging the host Oklahoma Sooners, a Big 12 team that received 46 votes in the USA Today Preseason Coaches Poll. The Crusaders dominated from the outset, scoring three in the first and six in the second on the way to the 11-4 victory. Starting pitcher Trey Ferketic (Laguna Niguel, Calif. / JSerra [UC San Diego]) twirled a gem to capture his first win in a Valpo uniform.
The day started favorably for the Crusaders, as Chase Dawson (Chesterton, Ind. / Andrean) led off by pulling a home run down the right-field line against Oklahoma starting pitcher Lane Ramsey.
Valpo (1-3) continued to pour it on in the first inning of the weekend, as senior Chad Jacob (Irvine, Calif. / Woodbridge) came through with a two-out single up the middle, driving in Blake Billinger (Los Gatos, Calif. / St. Francis [Mission]) and Sam Shaikin (West Hills, Calif. / Chatsworth) to make it a three-run frame.
Ramsey didn't make it out of the second inning, as the Crusaders started the inning with six straight base runners. The only out he got in the second frame came on a sacrifice bunt before he was yanked after only 1 1/3 innings.
Dawson was in on the act again, as his run-scoring single to shortstop accounted for Valpo's first run of the second, then Jayden Eggimann (Mesa, Ariz. / Desert Ridge [Central Arizona / Grand Canyon]) scored on a wild pitch. Billinger ripped a single up the middle to plate Dawson, the final run before the pitching change.
The offensive explosion continued against the Sooners' bullpen as a walk and a bases-loaded hit by pitch started the outing for reliever Brett Lorah. The hit batter was Jacob, who earned an RBI.
Scott Kapers (Schererville, Ind. / Mt. Carmel) added a sacrifice fly, Eggimann drove in a run with an infield single and by the time the top of the second was said and done, the Crusaders owned a commanding 9-0 lead.
Zack Leone (Pelham Manor, N.Y. / Fordham Prep [Susquehanna]) notched a run-scoring single in the third, expanding the Valpo advantage to 10-0.
Ferketic left after five dazzling innings. He yielded just one hit and no runs while pitching to contact, inducing eight fly outs and five groundouts.
The Sooners (2-4) got on the board against the Valpo bullpen in the sixth, plating two against Michael Mommersteeg (St. Thomas, Ont., Canada / St. Joseph's). The Valpo southpaw allowed four runs on six hits over four innings, but he did enough to nail down his first save.
Shaikin drilled a solo homer in the top of the seventh to account for Valpo's 11th and final run of the game.
The Sooners received 46 votes in the USA Today Preseason Baseball Coaches Poll. That was the third most among teams not ranked in the Top 25, essentially making Oklahoma the 28th ranked team in the nation, per the Coaches Poll.
Oklahoma plays in the Big 12 Conference, which was ranked first nationally in Conference RPI last season. The Sooners finished last season 29th in RPI after reaching the NCAA Regional. The Sooners beat No. 20 Indiana in their season opener last week.
This marked the program's first win against an active member of the Big 12 Conference.
Dawson's home run was the first of his Crusader career in his 332nd career at-bat. Valpo had one home run to lead off a game last season – James Stea on May 13 at Milwaukee.
Jacob's three RBIs marked a career high.
Shaikin's home run was his first of the season and the fifth of his Crusader career. He had a career-high four runs scored and enjoyed the fifth three-hit game of his career. Shaikin also had two walks, so he reached base five times in the game.
The Crusaders have had 10+ hits in three of their first four games, the first time they've done that in over 12 years.
Dawson, Shaikin and Billinger continued to form a formidable top three in the batting order. This already marked the second time this season (Saturday vs. Alabama) that all three had multiple hits in the same game.
The Crusaders will play Holy Cross on Saturday night in the second game of the day.

The IRS claims to be targeting 'unscrupulous' preparers by identifying patterns of suspicious returns with computer programs. The IRS wills seek an initial injunction barring the individual from preparing returns, requiring him/her to send a letter to current clients notifying them that their return may contain fraud, and demanding a list of all current/past clients.
*Former tax preparer Cruz admitted that he engaged in results-based tax return preparation, where the goal is to maximize refunds rather than accurately report his customers' actual income and allowable credits and deductions. Although many of Cruz's customers would bring copies of their tax documents, such as Forms W-2 and 1099 and receipts for potentially deductible expenses, Cruz often ignored them and instead reported unsupported amounts on customers' federal income tax returns. Cruz admitted that he prepared more than 7,000 federal income tax returns for tax years 2004 to 2008.
I am sure all of these 7000 clients had been bragging to their friends about their great preparer. The honeymoon is likely over! We have SEVERAL Delaware preparers who practice in this manner. I certainly hope their days our numbered. Keep in mind that 'the favors' your preparer does for you (making up charitable and business deductions that are 'acceptable') he/she may do for many people making it easy for the new IRS computers to catch them. Every return has $5000 in charitable deductions, etc. Duh!

Dan Knott, Chrysler Performance and Procurement
Allpar.com Content
Discussion Starter • #1 • 2 mo ago (Edited by Moderator)
Marc Rozman wrote: "Even thought I did not work directly for Dan Knott, he was always approachable and would take the time to not only listen but act on what you may have talked about. Very professional and courteous, something not always seen these days in the big companies."
Dan Knott, a respected leader at Chrysler who played an integral role in the Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and SRT line, died of cancer in late April of 2012 at the age of 51.
Sergio Marchionne, chairman and CEO Chrysler Group LLC, wrote: "Dan Knott was an inspirational leader, who cared deeply about the company and, most of all, his people. His passion for products shone through, and I will always remember how his child-like smile lit up the room when we talked about vehicles like the Viper or our Jeep brand. He made a huge contribution to Chrysler by improving our relations with suppliers with an approach based on honesty, transparency and accountability. Dan will be missed on a professional basis, and even more on a personal level."
Born in Detroit, Knott went to Michigan State University and graduated with an engineering degree in 1983. His first job was as a fuel systems engineer for American Motors (AMC). He then left to join Bendix as a sales engineer, in 1986; in 1988, he jointed Chrysler as a senior engineer in air/fuel emissions systems. In 1993, as Chrysler was entering its renaissance, he was promoted to Powertrain Product Team Program Management. Three years later, he moved to become senior manager of Jeep development.
In 1999, after three years running Jeep development, Knott was made director of vehicle development, quality, and safety on the small vehicle team; a year later he was made director of chassis systems on the team. In 2002, Knott got his MBA from Michigan State University and was made director of material cost management; later in the year, he was also made director of the new Street and Racing Technology (SRT) team.
In 2006, Knott was given a sizeable promotion to vice president of global service for all Chrysler brands; a year later, he was put in charge of product development for core components. Motor Trend put him down as number 23 their Power List of influential automotive industry people.
Just one year after that, in 2008, Knott was put in charge of the Jeep product team and then made vice president of the car/minivan/SRT product team. He was then moved up to head of vehicle engineering for the A and B segments.
In 2009, Knott was given his final promotion and transfer, and was put in charge of Purchasing and Supplier Quality. During the 1990s, Chrysler had gained a reputation for treating suppliers well, and in turn using their ideas to save billions of dollars; under Daimler, these traits had been dropped in favor of short-term cost savings, a method also favored under Cerberus. One of Knott's jobs was to recover from these devastating decisions.
Sergio Marchionne said, when Knott retired:
Dan Knott's leadership has been vital in the effort to revitalize Chrysler by fostering a new culture based on a commitment to meritocracy, excellence and accountability. He has done an outstanding job in rehabilitating Chrysler's relations with suppliers and, in so doing, enhancing our ability to offer more competitive products. I am proud to have worked with Dan in the last three years, during which time he confirmed on every occasion an extreme sense of professionalism and unwavering dedication to the restoration of Chrysler's credibility. All of us at Chrysler thank him for his many years of dedication to this company and wish him and his family only the best.
Neil De Koker, CEO of the Original Equipment Supplier Association, was quoted by Automotive News as saying, "He's always been totally ethical, totally right in terms of being committed to doing the right thing." Automotive News had recognized Knott as an "All-Star" for purchasing and credited him with re-creating Chrysler's partnership approach with suppliers. The News noted that Knott had stopped the custom of sudden supplier changes to gain trivial cost savings, and trained his staff to take responsibility and to pay bills quickly; he also met with suppliers on a regular basis.
As part of his work in procurement, Knott worked on increasing opportunities for suppliers owned by women and under-represented minorities; Chrysler annually reviews and acts on how much business its Tier 1 suppliers do with such businesses, and can reduce suppliers' overall purchasing score by up to 20% if this amount is minimal, putting contracts at risk.
In 2010, Knott was inducted into the Viper Club of America Hall of Fame. Knott finished fourth-in-class at the 2005 Targa Newfoundland Tarmac Rally; his other hobbies included motorcyle riding and wood-working, along with running, fishing, and golf. He served two years as Chair of the Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council; was the executive sponsor of the Chrysler Native American Employee Resource Group; and co-chaired the Chrysler Diversity Council. Outside Chrysler, he was on the Advisory Board of Focus: HOPE, which is dedicated to resolving economic disparity, inadequate education, racial divisiveness, and hunger, as well as being a member of the board of New Horizons Rehabilitation Services, Inc., which provides vocational training and job placement services for people with disabilities.
Knott's medical retirement was announced on April 13, 2012, he died two weeks later, in his sleep, surrounded by his family. He is survived by his wife, Cindy, his son, Casey, and his daughter, Laura.

Inspector Imanishi Investigates
Seicho Matsumoto
translated from the Japanese by Beth Cary
SOHO Crime 1989 [1961]
When a man is found battered to death under a train in Tokyo, the only clue is a name heard spoken in an unusual accent in a cafe shortly beforehand. After months with no leads the investigation is going nowhere, but the determined and conscientious Imanishi never gives up, even using his own time to investigate. Eventually this leads him to a group of high-profile avant-garde artists, writers and critics, one of whom is hiding a secret.
Inspector Imanishi Investigates is well-paced, but its plot is fairly linear, tracking Imanishi as he follows up one clue after another — some of them a little too neatly dropped in his lap, through coincidences involving his wife and sister and their connections. He is a likeable character, with a happy domestic life and a hobby growing bonsai, but is most notable for his persistence. And his off-sider Yoshimura is really just a foil, with a very minor role.
Some chapters describe events outside Imanishi's knowledge, which means the reader always has more information than the detective, but there are still some surprises. The main interest, however, is not in those but in the unfolding of the investigation. And Japan in 1960 provides a striking setting: the railways, rural poverty, Japanese dialects, the damage from bombing in the war, social status and prejudice, and more all feature.

Here We Go Again: H&M Pulls Offensive Headdresses From Canadian Stores
Dodai Stewart
Another day, another offensive fashion incident involving headdresses. This time, H&M has angered aboriginals in Canada by selling feathered headgear.
(It should be noted that the headdress above is similar but not exactly the one pulled from stores; it's an earlier H&M headband The Fashion Spot saw on eBay.)
Chris Purdy at the Canadian Press reports that faux feather headdresses have been pulled from shelves in stores across Canada.
Kim Wheeler, an Ojibwa-Mohawk from Winnipeg, said she first saw the $15 fashion accessories while shopping with her daughter last week at the store in Vancouver's Pacific Centre mall.
"My first instinct was to buy all of them and throw them in the garbage," said Wheeler. "It's not honouring us. It's not flattering us. It's making a mockery of our culture.
"We just don't think it's cool."
Wheeler wrote a letter to the company, outlining the issue:
"Headdresses are worn by chiefs in some of our communities ... It is a symbol of respect and honour and should not be for sale as some sort of cute accessory. It is not honourable nor flattering. People in my community have kind of been fighting that whole 'hipster headdressing' for a while now."
The National Post has a statement from the retailer:
Emily Scarlett, a Toronto-based spokeswoman for the Swedish fashion chain, said the hair pieces — patterned head bands with bright pink and purple flowers — were part of the company's summer music festival collection called "H&M Loves Music."
Flowered wreaths in honour of the sixties were also part of the line.
"Music festivals these days are really about experimenting with fashion and dressing your personality. And they're very heavily based on accessories, really accessorizing your look."
She said the company received three complaints about the headdresses and quickly made the decision to remove them from the market. An order to remove the items went out Tuesday to its 61 Canadian locations.
"Of course we never want to offend anybody or come off as insensitive," Scarlett said. "We're always about being there for our customers."
In 2011, Urban Outfitters started selling "Navajo" garments, and were subsequently sued by the Navajo Nation; Navajo is a people, not a pattern. In 2012, Victoria's Secret sent Karlie Kloss down the runway in a feathered war bonnet. H&M's faux pas is just the latest in a wave of inappropriate trends, and unfortunately, it seems like this probably won't be the last time we see cultural appropriation masquerading as hip fashion accessory. As Emma Jones at The Fashion Spot points out, in addition to Selena Gomez's bindi, feathers are everywhere right now. No end in sight.
Forever 21 Didn't Get The Navajo Memo
Last month, Urban Outfitters drew popular ire — and threats of legal action from the Navajo Nation…
[CTV News, National Post, The Fashion Spot]
VGIRoller
I'm curious, how does one get inspired by a culture without performing an act of cultural appropriation? It's been happening for thousands of years, and while I'm not defending H&M's work, I do find that stuff, for better or worse, appealing.
I mean, there it is heartening to see more fashion houses working with actual native peoples when it comes to fashion and artwork, but does the same apply to native African appropriation? Indian appropriation? Swedish or French or Japanese or Aboriginal or what ever culture is the "it" culture? Where is there a start and a stop of what is ok and what is not ok for middle class white people to wear or appreciate.
Look, there is a lot loaded in this conversation. Sometimes its not an issue of a headdress inspired by Native American cultures, but more about the heritage of genocide by white peoples against those Native peoples. I get that. But is there any way, any possible way, for a dumb 18 year old kid to go shopping at Urban Outfitters and come out with a tank top with a geometric pattern inspired by Native American traditional art without offending?

Hitler's Secret Weapons: Enigma
U-126 at sea
Sea Wolves
The U-boat War
Keywords: WWII, Documentary, Recommended
This documentary, Part I of The U-boat War series, provides an overview of the Battle of the Atlantic through 1941. It explains some of the major themes and events of the conflict, including the participation of the United States in an undeclared naval war against Germany prior to December 1941; the relatively impersonal nature of U-boat warfare, in which the enemy generally unseen by anyone except the commander; Grossadmiral Karl Dönitz' strategic aims; the Enigma cipher machine and codebreaking efforts; and the capture of U-110. Many respected authors and historians in the field, including Michael Hadley, David Brown, Timothy Mulligan, Edward Beach, Michael Gannon, and David Kahn, offer their analysis of turning points in the conflict. Many veterans and eyewitnesses from both sides are also interviewed, including a survivor of the Athenia; Georg Högel, radio operator on U-30; escort commander Robert Atkinson; Siegfried Koitschka, commander of U-616; and several merchant seamen. Otto Kretschmer describes how a book published in 1931 convinced him that radio silence was key to success in U-boat actions; Peter Petersen of U-518 provides interesting details of life on board and during shore leave; and Erich Topp recounts how he sank the Reuben James as commander of U-552. Modern footage includes shots of U-995 and the former submarine base of Lorient. Footage from newsreels and propaganda films shows attacks and battle scenes; U-boat homecomings; Dönitz; Prien giving a speech after his victory at Scapa Flow; and a band playing the Kretschmer-Marsch.
The other volumes in the series are Iron Coffins and Attack America.
This is an excellent documentary, as a glance at the credits (which include Horst von Bredow of the U-boot-Archiv and authors Juergen Rohwer and Jak Mallmann Showell) will show. It provides a balanced view and accurately presents the highlights and major turning points of the longest battle of World War II.
A German-language version of this series is available as Der U-Boot Krieg (Seewölfe, Angriff auf Amerika, Eiserne Särge).

"program music I", released approximately a year and a half ago introduced audiences to a musical interpretation of two Japanese literary classics, "Night on the Milky Way Railroad" and "Run Melos!" and revealed the rich musical talent of kashiwa daisuke. As we enter the final one digit year of the new millennium, we are proud to release "5 Dec.", an album that drops hints of what's to come in the next 10 years.
kashiwa's first album released from German label, onpa, in 2006 won rave reviews from many artists including Ryuichi Sakamoto. In his second album, "program music I" released the following year, kashiwa daisuke defined his presence once again in the world of music. The artist's lyrical melody and dynamic and inventive musical arrangements have led his work to new frontiers in TV commercials and fashion shows. kashiwa casts also off a powerful presence on the online world through his musical + visual collaboration with Koji Nishida of RAKU-GAKU, the artist behind kashiwa's album jackets.
In his third album, "5 Dec.", kashiwa daisuke makes yet another step into a new horizon. In this album, the artist's signature melody with its flowing, oriental taste hides behind the shadows to be replaced by tearing voice samples and noisy and metallic guitar sounds thrashing almost violently on top of colorful uplifting beats such as break core, down tempo, bleep techno, and drum n' bass. In contrast to the aggressive sounds of the first half, the second part of the album starting with the 6th track, "Silver Moon" guides audiences to a minimal world created through electronic sounds and the piano. As a whole, the album portrays a brilliant contrast of sound.
The melody of this album does not impose sentimentalism or nostalgia onto its listeners but rather, it takes them on a journey into rhythm from beginning to end. Even amidst the violent and excessive elements, there is always a composed eye seeing into the passion that lies beneath, there is a self-disciplined, strict interpretation of the world, a sublime and metallic texture… this is what the artist kashiwa daisuke may be all about. Turn your ears and experience the fruit of kashiwa daisuke's new challenge and step with him into a whole new level of musical originality.

You might have heard about QNET from your family, a distant cousin, a friend you have not met for a while, a neighbour, or an ex girlfriend or boyfriend (gasp!). You might have done a bit of research on the Internet and found so many different stories about QNET. Is QNET for real? Is QNET a pyramid scheme or is it a legitimate direct selling company offering a real opportunity to change your life?
Our CEO Trevor Kuna debunks accusations of QNET being a pyramid scheme due to the lack of understanding of the industry itself. Network marketing is simply a way for companies that produce goods to distribute them without necessarily owning and operating retail storefronts. Independent representatives (IRs) purchase goods, which they go on to sell, earning a profit and virtually operating as their own bosses.
Differentiating legitimate direct selling companies and illegal pyramid schemes isn't as hard as you think. There are a quite a few things that set them apart. This article tells you how to identify a legitimate direct selling opportunity or a pyramid scheme.
If you wish to know more about QNET, this article will help you understand more about QNET, the direct selling industry, and the answers to some of the most popular questions about QNET.

Company News: Curetis Acquires Patents and Rights to Genetic Antibiotic Resistance and Susceptibility (GEAR) Database and Know-How from Siemens
– Agreement gives Curetis worldwide rights to database and IP based on Next Generation Sequencing
– GEAR significantly enhances Curetis' leading position in the area of genetic antimicrobial resistance biomarker testing
Curetis N.V. (the "Company" and, together with Curetis GmbH, "Curetis"), a developer of next-level molecular diagnostic solutions, today announced the signing of an asset acquisition agreement with the Siemens Technology Accelerator GmbH (STA). Under the terms of the agreement, Curetis has acquired sole commercial rights from STA to the GEAR GEnetic Antibiotic Resistance and Susceptibility platform and database with all its content, numerous GEAR-related patents and patent applications, as well as all corresponding know-how. The deal gives Curetis sole worldwide product development and commercial rights, including the right to sublicense in the fields of human and animal diagnostics as well as food safety testing. Furthermore, Curetis has secured the sole rights to leverage the GEAR assets in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies for the development of novel antimicrobial drugs for human and animal health.
As consideration for these assets, STA will receive an undisclosed upfront payment from Curetis. Furthermore, Curetis will make undisclosed milestone payments for products including GEAR biomarkers upon first CE IVD marking and first FDA approval (or similar regulatory clearance), respectively. Also, there will be royalty payments to STA in industry-typical percentage ranges on future products based on use of the GEAR platform or GEAR biomarkers. Further financial details were not disclosed.
The state-of-the-art GEAR bioinformatics platform and database was developed and compiled in collaboration with two academic partners: The Institute of Clinical Molecular Biology (IKMB) at Kiel University that carried out the next generation sequencing (NGS) of bacterial isolates and the Clinical Bioinformatics Group of Saarland University headed by Prof. Dr. Andreas Keller that developed the bioinformatics platform and performed the computational analysis of 30 Terabyte of data underlying the GEAR database. GEAR allows users to assemble and annotate bacterial genomes from NGS raw data, identify genetic variations in those genomes and correlate those with the response of the respective bacterial strain to antibiotics. Currently, the GEAR database contains the entire DNA sequences as well as sensitivity data for 21 antibiotics of more than 11,000 bacterial strains isolated from patient samples across the world over the last three decades. It will allow Curetis to rapidly identify potential novel biomarkers, biomarker combinations, and algorithms predicting antibiotic resistance, as well as potential novel targets for antimicrobial drugs.
The acquisition of the GEAR database and patent estate adds significantly to the leadership position that Curetis has established in the area of genetic antimicrobial resistance biomarker testing with its Unyvero Application Cartridges. Curetis will further expand and mine the GEAR database in collaboration with leading academic institutions as well as pharmaceutical and diagnostics companies and leverage those into commercial products on its Unyvero Molecular Diagnostics platform and beyond.
"We are thrilled to have won in the competitive bidding process for this unique and exciting asset," said Dr. Achim Plum, Chief Commercial Officer of Curetis. "With this platform, we are planning to build a network of strong and collaborative relationships with academics, clinicians and companies in the fields of diagnostics and pharmaceuticals alike. We will develop this repository into a valuable resource of antibiotic resistance biomarkers available to the global research community, while leveraging the proprietary nature of GEAR into our own Unyvero products and platform in the future."
Oliver Schacht, CEO of Curetis, added, "Since our IPO, we have diligently executed on our commercial and product development plans. At the same time, we have kept our eyes open for strategic opportunities such as the GEAR acquisition. GEAR allows us to significantly expand the scale and scope of the Unyvero platform and complement it with NGS-based knowledge. GEAR will become an engine for even more comprehensive and differentiated content of antibiotic resistance biomarkers in our Unyvero products and allow us to stay on top of the development of cutting-edge molecular diagnostic products for critical hospital infections."
Prof. Keller, one of the initiators of the project, highlighted the broad and unique character of GEAR: "The more than 11,000 whole bacterial genomes collected over three decades and across many countries in combination with culture-based phenotypic resistance profiles against 21 drugs enabled us to investigate multivariate genetic resistance mechanisms in a very comprehensive manner". Prof. Keller also underlined that Curetis is a perfect partner for commercialization of tests for antibiotic resistance derived from GEAR: "We are convinced of the success of genetic antibiotic resistance tests and committed to support Curetis in their endeavor to improve care for patients suffering from bacterial infections"
About the GEAR Database and Assets:
The GEAR database includes genomic data of mostly Gram negative bacteria causing pneumonia, bloodstream infections, urinary tract infections, and gastric and wound infections. Samples were carefully selected across multiple geographies (USA, EU, Asia) and have been collected over three decades to reflect resistance development and variability over time. Sample collection was done at over 200 sites on 5 continents, with over 150 US institutes contributing. In addition to many of the most troublesome Gram negative bacteria, GEAR also includes S. aureus, demonstrating feasibility also for Gram positive bacteria.
Sample collection was designed to achieve significant statistical power with over 10,000 Gram negative bacterial strains and ca. 1,000 S. aureus (both MSSA and MRSA) strains tested. Overall, 21 antibiotic drugs in 182 different concentrations with all modes of action for resistance were tested for. Most commonly used drugs have been chosen by the former Siemens Microbiology Department. Antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) reference methods as per CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) guidelines were used and results interpreted according to EUCAST (European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing) guidelines. Seven out of nine combinations of bacteria and antibiotics identified as being of international concern by the WHO were analyzed in detail. Individual patent filings have been made for each bacteria for all antibiotics as well as certain method and process patents.
Next generation sequencing (NGS) was performed at one of the leading German Sequencing Centers (IKMB Institute of Clinical Molecular Biology in Kiel) on HiSeq 2000 and HiSeq 2500 Sequencers with over 300 Mio bases sequenced per sample. Taken together, 4 billion reads with 0.4 trillion bases were sequenced. Advanced bioinformatics approaches developed by the group of Prof. Dr. Andreas Keller, Chair for Clinical Bioinformatics, Saarland University, were employed to combine NGS results with AST data to identify potential novel and proprietary antibiotic resistance biomarkers and biomarker combinations.
GEAR enables a wide range of valuable clinical applications such as better genetic resistance testing for specific drug classes, broader syndromic resistance biomarker panels, and, in the future, potentially fully genetic antibiograms. It therefore can provide unique content for high-, medium-, and low-plexed MDx platforms.
Curetis to host conference call and webcast on GEAR acquisition
Curetis will host a public conference call and webcast on September 8, 2016, at 03:00 pm CET / 09:00 am EST to present its asset acquisition agreement with Siemens Technology Accelerator GmbH (STA) announced earlier today. Under the terms of the agreement, Curetis has acquired sole commercial rights from STA to the GEAR GEnetic Antibiotic Resistance and Susceptibility platform and database with all its content, numerous GEAR-related patents and patent applications, as well as all corresponding know-how.

Equality in the Science Workplace – Jenny Rohn

Equality in the Science Workplace: Lessons From Dystopia
White Coats at Dawn by Dr Jenny Rohn
In Christina Dalcher's latest novel Vox (no major spoilers below), a recognizably Trump-era United States has been taken over by the Pure Movement, which is essentially its current Religious Right dialled up to eleven.
Under this regime, women's freedom is completely removed: they can't work, use computers or phones or access reading materials. They have to do all the 'womanly' chores, such as the shopping, cleaning, child-rearing and cooking, with no help from their male family members. And they have a daily spoken word quota of one hundred, enforced by a metal bracelet that issues an increasingly powerful electric shock. It's not just for women; the bracelet goes on female children as well. Step out of line – disobedience, adultery, a spot of gossip – and you will find yourself being publicly humiliated then sent to some Midwestern gulag for a life of hard labour.
There are a few inconvenient consequences, such as home-cooked meals of dubious quality (the poor ladies aren't even allowed to use cookbooks), and a slumping economy due to half of the workforce being wiped out in one sweep. But by and large, this is a small price to pay for the quiet life, so the powers that be are pretty chuffed with their new system. So what if very young female children start showing signs of permanent language deficiency – in retrospect, isn't this just an added bonus?
Dalcher's protagonist Jean is a kick-ass scientist, a world expert on Wernicke's Area, the part of the brain that controls the comprehension of language. Disorders in this locus can cause aphasia – the scrambling of heard and spoken words into an incomprehensible mess. So when the President's brother suffers a brain injury, Jean gets to take off her apron – and her nasty bracelet – to join a crack lab team assembled by the government to discover a cure. When she arrives for her first day, she finds that she and two other experts have been saddled with a boss called Morgan, the mediocre researcher in her former department who couldn't experiment his way out of a paper bag. The role of this man, we soon see, is to lord it over the others and take all of the credit while doing none of the thinking.
At this point, I – and maybe other female scientist readers – started to experience an uneasy sense of familiarity. In a career where half of the PhD intake has been sex-balanced for a generation or more, the academic biomedical sciences is still largely run by men. In the UK, about 80% of the biology professoriat is male. This 80% consists not only of academics lingering on from older generations; it includes a hefty proportion of younger men recently inducted. Men also predominate amongst department heads, deans and vice-chancellors. Numerous carefully conducted studies show that excellent women are routinely passed over in short-listing, hiring, promotion, and in various showcasing exercises such as keynote speeches, due to unconscious biases about what a 'real" scientist looks like. The inevitable result is departments where it is not uncommon for women of extraordinary talent, if they don't drop out altogether, to remain junior, while men of rather ordinary caliber move up the ladder. And how does such a man succeed? By surrounding himself with a great team of researchers, of course – roughly half of whom are women.

Last week, University of Oregon psychology professor Jennifer Freyd lost her appeal in a case questioning the right of her home department to pay her massively less than the male professors with the same job description. It transpires that the reason the men were earning more was mostly because they courted higher job offers and then essentially blackmailed their departments to match this pay to retain them. Apparently this is common practice not only in the States but here in the UK as well (where I am told it goes by the euphemism of "market forces").
What are we to make of, and do about, this sorry state of affairs? Can it really be right that the only way to get paid equal to men is to waste your own, and a lot of other people's, valuable time, pretending you want a different job so that your department will offer you a raise to stay? Does this mean that women ought to step up and start being more aggressive and inconsiderate, bluffing their way to equal pay too?
Professor Jennifer Freyd (Image from University of Oregon)
This sort of idea is anathema in modern "equality and diversity" circles. And I know what I'm talking about, having been the chair, for the past four years, of the Athena SWAN committee in my division, one of the largest divisions in the largest university in the UK. In our attempts to establish a level playing field, we are strongly encouraged by the prevailing wisdom to try to fix "the system", but roundly discouraged from "fixing the woman". Hence, mandating unconscious bias training for all people involved in hiring and promotion? Good. Coaching women to be more assertive? Bad. I am quite sure that if I proposed a workshop on the guerilla tactics of getting a raise by applying for lots of outside jobs, I'd be shown a red card.
But what's the alterative? People have known about unconscious bias for decades, and lots of training sessions, along with a raft of other well-meaning initiatives, have been attempted. But has anything really changed? When I was a new PhD candidate back in the early Nineties (in a gender-even cohort), I was told to sit tight: now that the pipeline is 50/50, one of the few female professors assured us, equality will trickle up to the top in no time. Fast-forward three decades later, and essentially nothing has changed with those professoriat ratios. Nothing. How long should female scientists sit back and trust that "the system" will change for the better? How many brilliant female scientists will crash out of the system because the one permanent job on offer went to a less-qualified male competitor?
I won't give away the plot, but in Dalcher's novel, Jean ended up acting in a very un-ladylike manner to try to escape her fate. It got me to wondering just how un-ladylike women in science would have to act to speed up the glacial pace of achieving equality at the workplace.
The answer just didn't sit comfortably with me. And that, in essence, might be the real problem.

From Academy Award®-nominated and Emmy Award®-winners Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar ("The Last Truck: Closing of a GM Plant," "A Lion in the House," "Seeing Red") comes "American Factory," a Netflix Original Documentary presented by Higher Ground Productions and Participant Media. The acclaimed film takes a deep dive into a post-industrial Ohio, where a Chinese billionaire opens a new factory in the husk of an abandoned General Motors plant and hires two thousand blue-collar Americans. Early days of hope and optimism give way to setbacks as high-tech China clashes with working-class America.


The sacred ritual of the Eleusinian Mysteries was practiced in Greece for 1500 years until 396 CE, when the Christian/Roman empire suppressed them.1 The Mysteries were extensive ritual and narrative events that were prepared for rigorously in March of one year, and then enacted eighteen months later in September. During the Mysteries, as many as 1500 people at a time walked the nineteen miles from Athens to Eleusis, engaging in complex activities on the way. Much of what we associate with rites of transformation was practiced here: purification, fasting, dietary restraint, rites of endurance, meditation, theater, sport competitions, and visioning. Women and men, citizens, slaves and foreigners were all able to participate if they prepared for and committed themselves to the beautiful extremity of the event.
At this time, I was working with an improvisational theater group. Our work led to the development of different characters who became important to me and to the actors. Unexpectedly, the characters began to create relationships among themselves in my imagination, and the play Dreams Against the State was born. Each of the contemporary characters was based on a figure from the Mysteries and, in the first draft of the play, there were entre-acts in which the Gods – Demeter, Hecate, Persephone, Hades, Hermes – appeared. Later, their roles were incorporated into the characters so that the audience could see that we can each live the intensity and passion of divine energies if we allow ourselves our real lives.
This dream came just after I led a Circle, The Council of Possibilities, in Oakland, CA. A conversation about water boarding was occurring in the public sector. Michael Mukasey, who supported enhanced interrogation techniques on al-Qaeda suspects, had been approved by the Judiciary Committee to be U.S. Attorney General. Accordingly, protesters had been demonstrating water boarding in the streets in Washington, DC. It was clear that Cheney and Bush approved and ordered torture; Rumsfield had just been indicted in France for torture, as Kissinger had been earlier for his role in fomenting the brutal golpe against the democratically elected government in Chile, in 1973. Neither can now travel abroad for fear of being arrested. Extreme unwelcome changes challenging all our democratic values were taking place in the United States.

Ingredients: Wheat flour, whey cheddar cheese [pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes], palm oil, salt, maltodextrin, buttermilk, dried onion, disodium phosphate, sodium caseinate, tomato powder, citric acid, spice nonfat milk, sucrose, natural flavors, autolyzed yeast extract, dried garlic, turmeric extract, annatto inosinate, disodium guanylate, silicon dioxide, soybean oil, sugar, salt, corn syrup, malt extract, soda.
Packaged snack foods are usually highly processed, blood-sugar spiking, pseudo-food. If we buy processed foods we need to be careful about ingredients and avoid anything artificial.
If you can't pronounce the ingredient, it was probably cooked up in a lab. Never heard of it before….Google it and see what it is!
The federal government says that if it's not more than 99% MSG, food companies can call it what they want.
The label may not list "MSG" while the ingredient contains and acts like MSG, a neurotoxin. The "All Natural" pretzels shown above have hidden MSG in the form of autolyzed yeast extract and possibly in the form of natural flavors. The soybean oil, maltodextrin, and corn syrup are not organic so it is likely that they are from GMO plants.
The Lundberg Rice Chips shown in the main photo for this post include the following ingredients that I recommend avoiding: Torula Yeast, Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Smoke Flavor, Caramel Color.
MSG is an excitotoxin – it excites nerve cells to death.
Little children are consuming this daily – what will it lead to?

Slatoust () ist eine russische Großstadt mit  Einwohnern (Stand ) in der Oblast Tscheljabinsk. Sie ist vor allem bekannt für die Herstellung von Klingen.

Slatoust liegt im mittleren Ural, am linken Ufa-Nebenfluss Ai, etwa 1750 km östlich von Moskau und 110 km westlich der Gebietshauptstadt Tscheljabinsk. Die nächstgelegenen Städte sind Kussa (23 km nordwestlich von Slatoust gelegen) und Miass (33 km südöstlich).

Geschichte
Slatoust wurde im Jahre 1754 gegründet und erhielt seinen Namen nach dem byzantinischen Heiligen Johannes Chrysostomos, der im Russischen Ioann Slatoust genannt wird (Chrysostomos = "Goldmund" = russ. Slatoust). Anlass der Stadtgründung war der Aufbau einer Eisenmanufaktur auf dem Gebiet der heutigen Stadt durch die Tulaer Industriellenfamilie Mossolow. Es wird vermutet, dass die Mossolows Johannes Chrysostomos besonders verehrten und daher die neu gegründete Fabrik nach ihm benannten, was dann auch der Stadt ihren heutigen Namen gab.

1815 wurde in Slatoust zusätzlich zur Eisenfabrik eine Klingenfabrik gegründet, an deren Aufbau auch Meister aus Solingen beteiligt waren. Im 19. Jahrhundert entwickelte sich in Slatoust auch das Handwerk der Metallgravur, mit der die Slatouster Klingenwaffen geschmückt wurden. Dies machte sie weit über die Ortsgrenzen hinaus bekannt, und die Metallgravur ist bis heute ein lokales Traditionshandwerk der Stadt. 1857 entstand in Slatoust eine weitere Waffenfabrik, wo die ersten Stahlkanonen Russlands gegossen wurden.

1865 erhielt Slatoust Stadtrechte und wurde Kreiszentrum im Gouvernement Ufa, 1931 wurde es zu einer kreisfreien Stadt erklärt. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs beherbergte Slatoust über 20 aus dem europäischen Teil Russlands evakuierte Industriebetriebe (darunter die Erste Moskauer Uhrenfabrik). Von den Kriegshandlungen blieb die Stadt wegen ihrer Lage weit im Hinterland der Sowjetunion verschont, allerdings fielen Schätzungen zufolge rund 40.000 Slatouster an der Front.

Bevölkerungsentwicklung

Anmerkung: Volkszählungsdaten

Wirtschaft und Verkehr
Bis heute ist Slatoust ein wichtiges Zentrum der Metallurgie im Südural, unter anderem mit dem Metallurgiewerk Slatoust (gegründet 1902) sowie der traditionsreichen Klingenfabrik, deren aus dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert stammende Bauten zu den Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt zählen. Außerdem gibt es in der Stadt eine Maschinen-, eine Verpackungs- und eine Uhrenfabrik, ferner über 300 kleinere Industrie- und Dienstleistungsbetriebe.

Südlich der Stadt verläuft die Fernstraße M5 auf dem Streckenabschnitt zwischen Ufa und Tscheljabinsk. Innerhalb der Stadt gibt es einen Fernbahnhof, ab dem Verbindungen außer nach Tscheljabinsk beispielsweise auch nach Samara und Moskau bestehen. Der nächste Flughafen befindet sich bei Tscheljabinsk. Im innerstädtischen öffentlichen Verkehr spielen vor allem Busse und Linientaxen eine Rolle, darüber hinaus verfügt Slatoust über ein eigenes Straßenbahnnetz, das aus zwei Linien besteht.

Online Master's in Human Resources in New Hampshire
Online Master's in Human Resources by State
Online master's in human resources programs in New Hampshire provide opportunities for students who always wanted to go back to school but thought they couldn't find the time. As these programs feature online courses and do not require any on-campus work, students can easily find the time needed to do their assignments and work on their classes. They can even interact with other students through virtual discussion boards. They'll need to post responses and essays on this board every week. New Hampshire students with a degree in business and those who studied any other subject will find these programs helpful.
One of the two schools that offer online master's in human resources programs in New Hampshire is Franklin Pierce University. Established in 1962, it opened with the goal of preparing students for their future careers while also providing students with a solid liberal arts foundation. Though the main campus for this university is in the town of Rindge, Franklin Pierce also offers courses on four other campuses that it calls its graduate campuses. Each one offers courses for the university's graduate students. Franklin Pierce also developed a solid reputation for its online courses, which help students of all ages earn undergrad and graduate degrees.
MBA in Human Resource Management
The human resources degree program that Franklin Pierce University offers is more than just another degree program because it awards graduates a Master of Business Administration in Human Resource Management. This program follows the guidelines laid out in the Society of Human Resource Management handbook, which provides students with the skills necessary to work for large corporations and smaller companies as well as nonprofit organizations. The university allows students to pick one elective from three options but requires that they take 12 courses. Those classes include Labor Relations and Employment Law, Training and Development for Adults and Economics for Managers.
International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE)
40 University Drive
Rindge, NH 03461-0060
Southern New Hampshire University
Southern New Hampshire University is one of the oldest continually operating colleges in the state. Established in 1932, the school was the brainchild of a local man and his wife. They opened the school to train students to work in accounting, business and secretarial positions, which were among the fastest growing industries in the state at that time. Though SNHU offers programs of all types today, it still has a strong reputation for its business programs. The university also gained attention as it introduced new online programs. Those programs helped the university reach an enrollment of more than 80,000 students.
Master of Science in Human Resource Management
SNHU designed its Master of Science in Human Resource Management to help students stay informed of the changes in the technology that they will use on the job. As one of the top online master's in human resources programs in New Hampshire, it provides students with everything they need through its virtual campus. Some incoming students may need to take a class on Business Foundations before beginning the program. All other students take courses that include Negotiation and Advocacy in the Workplace, Human Resources in Global Contexts, Talent Development and Workforce Planning, Strategic Human Resource Management and Law, Ethics and Politics in Human Relations.

Delaying LTD benefits may be bad faith.
On September 17, 2014, the British Columbia Supreme Court refused to summarily dismiss an insured's claim against the insurer and adjuster for breach of contract and the duty of fairness and good faith; however, the insured's claims against the adjuster for inducement of breach of contract and interference with contractual relations were dismissed.
In Frank v. Kalokina, 2014 BCSC 1866, the insured's application for long-term disability benefits was denied by the adjuster for five months after the time of her claim. The insured alleges that in denying her claim, the adjuster and the insurer did not act in good faith.
The insured was injured in a bicycling accident which resulted in traumatic brain injury. She intended to work thereafter but her injuries prevented her from doing so successfully. The insured received short-term disability benefits for approximately four months. Once the plaintiff reached the limit of her eligibility for short-term disability, she made an application for long-term disability under a group policy provided by her insurer. Her initial application was denied by the adjuster. On two occasions the insured appealed this decision in writing, but on each occasion the adjuster dismissed the insured's arguments and found that there was insufficient medical evidence to sustain her claim. The reason the adjuster repeatedly offered for denying coverage was that the insured's claim failed to show "a severely disabling diagnosis" or a "severe functional impairment that would result in total disability". However, the insurance policy stipulated merely that the plaintiff had to establish that she was "continuously incapable due to an illness to do the essential duties of her own employment".
Five months after applying for long term disability coverage, the insured filed a notice of claim against the adjuster and the insurer for breach of insurance contract and for breach of the duty of fairness and good faith owed to the insured. A number of days after the claim was filed and served on the adjuster and insurer, the insured's application for long-term disability benefits were granted retroactive to the day it was first made. The adjuster and insurer maintained they were granted for reasons which were unrelated to the litigation.
The question before the Supreme Court of British Columbia was whether the matter was suitable for disposition by way of summary judgment pursuant to Rule 9-6 of the Supreme Court Civil Rules, B.C. Reg. 168/2009. The Court noted that the adjuster had received a letter from the insured's doctor urging the adjuster to reconsider her decision or arrange for an independent medical examination of the insured several months before the insured filed her notice of civil claim. The adjuster and insurer failed to act at that time. The insured had also provided additional medical information in aid of her original application for long term disability benefits. Further, the insured's counsel had written a letter to the adjuster enquiring as to what further forms of medical evidence would be required to have the claim approved.
Ultimately, the Court dismissed the applications of both the adjuster and the insurer for dismissal of the claim based on the alleged breach of contract and the duty of fairness and good faith. The Court was not satisfied that there were no triable issues.
However, the Court dismissed the claims for inducement of breach of contract and interference with contractual relations against the adjuster. The claims were dismissed because no material facts were pled to support either cause of action and because those torts are restricted to "three party situations" where the tortfeasor interferes with or induces the breach of a contractual relationship between the plaintiff and a third party. Justice Baird held that there was no third party in this case; rather, there was only the insured and the insurer which acts or omits to act through its employees and agents.

Loans / Mortgage
What Is a Hard Money Loan and How Does It Compare to a Traditional Mortgage?
Types of Lenders
©Shutterstock.com
A hard money loan is a loan that is secured by the collateral it's being used to purchase, typically real estate. While this sounds like a traditional mortgage loan, there are some important differences.
Hard money loans differ from traditional mortgages in several important ways, including what they're used for, the types of lenders that offer them, and the interest rates and terms they offer. Here's a closer look at how they compare.
The primary difference between the two types of loans is that a hard money loan is often used for "flipping" real estate — buying a property, fixing it up and selling it for a profit — as opposed to a traditional mortgage for a primary residence. A hard money loan may also be used as a short-term "bridge" loan for a homeowner who wants to buy a new home before they can sell their old home. Once the old home is sold, the hard money loan is paid off with the proceeds from a traditional mortgage on the new home. A traditional mortgage is used for a primary residence that the buyer intends to live in for many years.
Make Your Money Work Better
The Lender
Hard money lenders are usually private companies or individuals. By contrast, typical mortgage lenders include banks or credit unions, among other options. Because they are independent, hard money lenders may be more flexible with the terms of the loan, and you may be able to negotiate with them.
The interest rate on a hard money loan is typically much higher than it would be on a traditional mortgage. There is also a much wider range of available rates for a hard money loan. According to Freddie Mac, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is 2.78% APR as of July 22. By contrast, the average interest rate for a hard money loan can range from 7% to 15% annually.
In addition to a higher interest rate, a hard money loan often has higher "points" or fees that are paid at closing or rolling into the loan. The points on a hard money loan are usually at least 1% of the value of the loan and can be as high as 4%.
The Term of the Loan
Most hard money loans have short terms — usually no longer than 24 months. Some hard money loans are for terms as short as eight to 10 months. While you may be able to pay off one hard money loan with another if your project exceeds the loan's term, you'll pay fees again on the new loan.
Because a hard money loan has a shorter term and a higher interest rate than a traditional mortgage, it is usually used in specific situations, such as flipping houses or as a bridge loan. With their short duration and high interest rates and fees, they can be risky for inexperienced borrowers. Someone who is flipping a house for the first time, for example, could underestimate the time it takes to do the renovations, and risk losing the house to the lender because the term of the loan ended.
FAQ on Hard Money Loans
Here are the answers to some commonly asked questions about hard money loans.
What do you need for a hard money loan?
A hard money lender places more emphasis on the value of the property than on the ability of the borrower to repay. Therefore, the lender will want to be sure the property is worth what you say it is, and that you have the appropriate equity in the property. You may also need to show that you have experience in buying and selling real estate.
Do you need a down payment for a hard money loan?
Yes. Down payments for hard money loans are often considerably more than those for a traditional mortgage -- in some cases, as much as 50%. Since hard money lenders will often lend to those with lower credit scores, they protect themselves by loaning a smaller percentage of the value of the property.
Why is it called hard money lending?
The term "hard money loan" refers to a loan that is secured by a "hard" asset, like real estate. If the borrower cannot or does not repay the loan, the lender takes the title to the asset to satisfy the debt.

Blake Shelton And Diva Gwen Stefani Take Their Romance To A New Level -- Fans Wonder, What Is Next?
Mel Walker
After several years of dating, Blake Shelton and his longtime girlfriend, Gwen Stefani, have decided to make some serious moves together literally.
The power couple made their romance public in late 2015 after Gwen divorced Gavin Rossdale, and Miranda Lambert and Blake split.
While fans have been wondering from day one, when will they get engaged, the singers seemed to be more focused on family life.
A source told Hollywood Life that Gwen and Blake have finally decided to move into a luxury California home together.
The Voice 's coaches gathered their resources and have purchased a house in Los Angeles together.
The insider said: "They moved in together not too long ago and are very happy in their new home. They're very content with the status of the relationship, and neither feels the need to get married anytime soon, however, nobody would be shocked if they did get engaged soon."
The person in the know also spoke about the relationship that Blake has with Gwen's children -- Kingston, 13, Zuma, 11, and Apollo, 5: "The house was a big commitment for both of them, and they're very, very happy to be living there. Gwen loves to cook, so she loves hosting dinner parties there. Blake has taken on the role of a second father figure to Gwen's boys, and they really respect Blake. He's accommodating now with everything for the boys, especially now that they're under the same roof. It was a big but good step for them. Living together makes it easier for them as a couple since they're always together, anyways."
Recently, the artists sat down for a candid interview on em>The Kelly Clarkson Show, and the diva opened up about their romance and spending time in the wild in Oklahoma with the country star.
The mother of three shared: "I remember the first time I went to Oklahoma with my family. We are like from Anaheim, and we'd never seen even trees before. We were like, 'Wow, this is like crazy.' And we're like driving and Blake's in his truck, and there's a tree that had been like blown down on the road."
Some fans still have their fingers crossed for Gwen and hope the marriage proposal will be around Christmas time.
Some say a wedding in the near future is still unlikely.

In Web-based distance education, the authors' experience has shown that some courses are more challenging than others for both students and instructors when offered at a distance. Among those challenges, providing students with access to laboratories is a big one for some science and engineering courses. Over the years, researchers and practitioners have devised and tried different ideas to solve this problem, and virtual labs are the newest and most promising solution. In computer science, such virtual labs are often called virtual computing labs or virtual programming labs. In this chapter, the authors discuss cloud computing based solutions to the development of virtual computing and programming labs. In particular, they present the design and implementation of A-VPL, a virtual programming lab designed and implemented at Athabasca University. The chapter discusses the technologies used in detail, and the unique features they have.
Today's Web-based distance education allows learners to study from anywhere at any time. However, it does have certain challenges to both students and instructors. The challenges can be different in different courses. In teaching computer programming courses, one of the challenges is to provide students with access to computer labs and timely support from tutors and fellow students. Essentially, it is not difficult for students to establish a required programming environment on their personal desktop or laptop computers, but the big challenge for students in computer programming courses delivered at a distance is the lack of guidance and assistance when their programs run into problems. This is especially true for introductory programming courses.
Over the years, many efforts have been made to solve the problem. These efforts can be put into three categories. One is to provide online Integrated Development Environment, so called online IDEs; the second is to develop computing virtual labs for general purposes, while the third is to develop virtual programming labs for specific programming languages. In the rest of this introduction, we will provide an overview of the results from these efforts.
There are several online IDEs we would like to mention, and the first is IDEOne (http://www.cdolivet.com/index.php?page=editArea) for syntax highlighting.
It should be mentioned that IDEOne has been integrated into Moodle (https://code.google.com/p/sunner-projects/wiki/OnlineJudgeInstallation if interested in further details on this.
The second online IDE we would like to mention is CodeRun (http://coderun.com/ide/). CodeRun provides a full IDE with file management, project management, code completion, and compilation. It supports code sharing and collaboration, along with numerous languages. However, it does not support interactive chat or any instructor/student separation.
Compared to CodeRun, which supports a number of programming languages, PHPanywhere (http://phpanywhere.net) is a web based PHP editor which only supports PHP code. It does feature most common IDE functionalities, though.
Mozilla Skywriter (http://ace.ajax.org/), is a fully customizable web-based program editor that supports cloud coding and compiling. It supports collaborative editing, extensions, syntax highlighting, testing, and more. It is the most complete cloud-based IDE currently available.
Kodingen (http://kodingen.com) provides an online environment that integrates with editors like Bespin. It provides the backend, cloud storage or hosting, databases, and other features, and plugs into the online editors to do the work. It doesn't strictly support collaboration, but multiple users can access individual files and edit them.
EmbIDE (http://www.embide.com/) is an embeddable IDE (currently still in beta version). It supports version control, user management, syntax and error highlighting, collaboration, chat, and deployment. It is designed for distributed teams of coders, but with no support for student-student or student-instructor interactions.
